Bicycle Board Members, Please reply-all ASAP if you know some place that we should put a poster (attached) and business cards that would get people to take Confident City Cycling classes. If you have an idea AND have a contact at that place, would you take a poster and some business cards to them? If so, please let me know how I can get posters and business cards to you. Classes begin in less than 2 weeks so getting these out ASAP is crucial. Frank Cyclists fare best when they act and are treated as drivers of vehicles

Bicycling Plan
by Frank Gmeindl 24 Feb '11

24 Feb '11

Bicycle Board Members, City Councilman Don Spencer says. "We need to prepare as soon as possible a 5-year financial budget projection for the City Manager. This may be the way in which we get the items that were cut restored. Please put in the first year the resources necessary to complete the climbing lane, do the map, install SOME of the garage parking, as well as the bike ed match. For the second year we need to continue items, such as the garage parking, sharrows, street parking, etc. Also include along the way as you deem best, Share the Road signs, continued bike ed, bike-ped coordinator, bike month support, training for public safety personnel, etc. A five year progressive picture." By next Monday, I am going to try to flesh out the attached bicycling plan. Currently, I will try to spread it over a 5-year period and develop an annual budget, progressive for each of the five years. There are currently 72 "initiatives" or projects in the plan. Without any help, I can probably make a credible cost and schedule estimate for about 10 of them. So, first, I'm going to select the projects that I think are most important, or most attractive to those that review and approve the budget and work on them. I could probably do a lot better job if I had some help. RIght off, the following projects will probably be included: * Continued the Confident City Cycling education program through 2011 * Replacing in-line grates * Install Mon Blvd. bicycle climbing lane * Complete the bike route map including distribution * Some downtown bike lockers * Some signage * Shared Lane Markings and Bicycles May Use Full Lane signs (for 2012) Initiatives that I don't plan to work on unless I get some help include: * Trails or bike paths * Safe Routes to Schools * Cycling education in the schools * Enforcement (Our plan has 10 enforcement initiatives) * Encouragement such as Bike Month, encouraging employers, community celebrations * Bike-ped coordinator The plan that I think I can generate by next week will not address all the recommendations that LAB gave us in response to our 2007 Bicycle Friendly Community award application. (Also attached is a spreadsheet with the feedback and our status.) Terrence said he wants the Bronze award. If you'd like to do anything to help with the areas that I plan to address or if you'd like to take on one or more areas that I probably won't get to, please reply.

FWD: National Bike Summit 2011 -- Acting on a Simple Solution - Issue 6
by director 23 Feb '11

23 Feb '11

Good morning I am making final preparations to attend the League's Bike Summit March 8-10. I'm forwarding the latest newsletter from the Summit in which they ask attendees to bring/send photos of local projects that have benefitted from transportation enhancement funds. For us that would include anything paid for by our TE grant over the past 3 years. I would like ask board members to get send me anything you'd like me to share with our lawmakers to show them they are getting value for their money when I meet with them on Thursday March 10. AND it's not too late for you to attend. Please consider doing so. As far as I know I will be the only person at the conference attending from our congressional district, and there's only one other person coming from WV. See the conference agenda for valuable seminars on becoming a more effective advocate. It's WAY worth attending.

Very bad news

City 2011-2012 budget
by Frank Gmeindl 21 Feb '11

21 Feb '11

Bicycle Board Members, You can see subject budget at http://www.morgantown.com/budget-prop11-12.htm . Some highlights: Bike Education: $37,551 (this is to match the grant we have) Bike Lanes: $0 (marked down from $20,895 to $0) Bike Parking: $0 (marked down from $1,349 to $0) Compare this $37,551 with sidewalks. For 2011-2013, the budget contains $255,413 for sidewalks. Show me where I'm wrong but I think this reflects what we get when we don't have a comprehensive bicycling plan. See the sidewalk plan at Updated 8-13-10 (PDF version - 5 MB) Frank
